This Is Not a Love Story

A feature-length tribute to great directors with no direction of its own, his second feature is the kind of self-consciously quirky, slapdash movie that still leaves a viewer eager to find out what its director will do next.

...does the impossible job of balancing smart-ass wit, high-school satire, a sweet portrait of adolescent friendship, movie love and huge emotional wallop all at the same time.

...clever take on tragicomic teen narrative.

Filmens mesterstykke er dens sublime sammensmeltning af form og den tematik, som langsomt udfolder sig.

...blandar vänskap, cancer och filmnörderi med en stor dos avväpnande humor.

...det følsomme drama om de tre teenagere og deres simple hverdag med skole, sygdom og besværet ved at kommunikere, er svært rørende og aldeles vedkommende.
